Description
Book SynopsisPlant Cell Wall Patterning and Cell Shape is among the first books to take a holistic look at the cell wall?s complex role in plant growth and development. This study examines how cell walls dictate cell shape, their effects on plant development, and researchers? latest perceptions of cell wall pattering.
